And do I understand correctly, 'template_default' is the exception to the rule?
i.e.
any file / dir. within the 'template_default' dir. can be copied over, or are we restricted to just 4: common, css, images, templates, and their subsequent files?

template_default is the baseline. Copy out of here into your own template and start modifying. This directory is overwritten every release, so you don't want to modify files in here.
Good luck,

Yes, overrides outside the "templates" folder are 1-level deep.

Nice chart, DrByte. Thanks for pointing it out. Don't think I would have found it otherwise. Hopefully, the downloads section will one day become searchable.
The chart indicates that only 3 main directories are worked with for overrides.
includes - languages, modules, templates
Although the chart looks like it is/was part of something with more information on overrides, if I know the 3 above dir. are all I need to focus on then it definitely helps to focus on the required areas.
I find I'm asking a lot of questions on the override setup because I have not yet wrapped my head around its proper usage. Will be doing a CSS Template shortly that I would like to freely offer to others and that should answer a lot of questions as well. Don't know about others but completely understanding how the overrides setup works, is so very important and for many reasons.
